You have been duped.
All of you college football fans out there have been fooled into thinking the transfer portal is an evil entity and a home for greedy, selfish, disloyal players who are quitting on their teams only so they can collect a bigger NIL deal/salary someplace else.
Don’t be so naive.
In fact, quite the opposite is true.
I had a knowledgeable college football administrator tell me recently that most players who enter the transfer portal do so at the behest of their head coach or position coach. In other words, most players who leave a program are either directly or indirectly encouraged to do so.
